Terry Lee Jensen

Terry Lee Jensen, 80, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family. Terry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend whose kindness, strength, and unwavering love for his family touched the lives of all who knew him.

Terry proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard. Following his military service, he spent most of his working years as a skilled tile setter, taking great pride in his craftsmanship and the relationships he built along the way.

When he wasn't working, Terry could most often be found outdoors enjoying the things he loved most. Fishing, hunting, and camping brought him great joy and created countless memories with family and friends throughout the years. He appreciated the simple pleasures of life, the beauty of nature, and the company of those he loved.

Above all else, Terry cherished his family. He shared 59 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Loretta, building a life centered on love, commitment, and family. His greatest pride was watching his family grow and celebrating the accomplishments and milestones of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Terry is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Loretta Jensen; his children, Dave (Teresa) Jensen and Jen (Tom) Ostrand; his grandchildren, Blake, Taylor, Jadyn, and Caleigh; his great-grandchildren, Briley and Harper; and his siblings, Truman (Mary) Jensen and Sue (Marty) Huse, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Though Terry's presence will be deeply missed, his legacy of hard work, devotion to family, love of the outdoors, and quiet strength will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

"Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near-still loved, still missed, and forever dear."
